VIII the New York papers never give
Mrs. James Brown Potter a rest? A
few weeks ago they were inclined to re-
gard the story OF her purpose to go on
the stage as chestnut" They still
continue, however, TO keep track of her
movements, ard appear to be as eager
as ever to keep her affairs before the
public.
Not long ago it was stated that her
husband had gone to Paris for the pur.
pose OF preventing her from appearing
on the stage, and now 1t seems that her
father-in-law, Howard Potter, has gone
to Europe on the same erraud. There
is considerable spec ulation in New York
as to whether or not they will be sue
cessful. The POtters, it seems, prefer
limited means and comparative obscur-
ity to wealth aud notoriety gained on tn e
stage. In other words, they are poor
and proud, while Mrs. James Brown
Potter is stage struck and anxious for
a little more money.
That Mrs. Potter has talent for the
stage is probable, but it is a very crude
sort yet, and it is not by any means GER
tain that if she carries out her purpose Of
becoming an actress she will win either
fame or fortune. She is certainly being
we'll advertised. Toe newspapers
couldn't do more 10 help her if they were
paid for it. If she fails 1t will not be be-
cause she has not been kept before the
pu bile.
There is probably not a phase of her
life that has not been written up in som Q
shape. About every detail of her career,
since she lett her quiet home in New
Orleans several years ago, has appeare d
in the public prints. Her husbands pUsi.
ton is not altogether an euviaole one.
Whether Mrs. Potter does or does not 20
on the stage there is not much prospect of
continued domestic happiness for him.
II she goes on the stage there will be an
end to home life, and If she Is persuaded
to give up the stage she will not be con-
tented. "A stage-struck woman is not
likely TO take kindly to household affairs.

THE FIFTY-POUND NUGGET.
Excitement 1t Has Create III the Vic
tOria, I'd Fields

COria :" q Fields.
Bouorat dug. 23) Letter to Melbourne Argus
This morning an extraordinary incident
in the recent mining history of tho colony
occurred, when an immense nugget weigh
ing about fifty pounds of pure gold, was
unearthed in the now famous Midas mine
at Sulky Gully. To-day's discovery
ecllpses anything of the kind that has been
known for many years in Victoria The first
public intimation was obtained in rather
curious manner. A man was observed by
the large crowd of shareholders who congre-
gate at the corner to bewalking down Sturt
street carrying a sack containing what TO
appearances was like a small pig, but his
strange burden was soon found to be the
nugget, and he was followed by an excited
and questioning crowd across Lydiard street
down to the corner to Messrs Stoddard d
Blnney's office, where he displayed the con-
tents of his bag. 1t was Immediately
placed on exhibition III Messrs. Stoddard q
Binney's office. The nugget is fiat and has
something the contour of colossal hand
held open, with the thumb and fingers close
together. Its greatest length is 1873 inches,
and breadth So inches, and varies in thick
ness up to 21S inches. 1t is apparently
pure gold, and weighs 6l7 ounces. 1t
was found i'll the northwest main
drive, in the direction of the No. 2 shaft,
10 feet from the surface, and at a spot
about so feet from where the Lady Brassey
nugget was recently found. A cast will be
taken of the nugget before tits broken up
1t is estimated to contain fifty-one pounds
of pure gold, worth about 95l per pound,
and the find represents an addition to the
company's revenue of about 1880 The
nugget will be exhibited at Messrs. Kilpat-
rick & Co.'s, jewelers., Collins street west,
Melbourne. Lady Loeb has consented to its
being named after herself. 1t is probable
that the nugget will be forwarded to Eng
land for exhibition. Subioined is a list of
the previous remarkable nuggets discovered

PHOSPHATE BAKING POWDERS.

The large amount of inert matter or resi-
dunn in both the phosphate and alum pow.
derS will be noted I lis in the phosphate
powders is largely of lime; in the alum pow
ders it is chiefly alum. 1t will be gratifying
to the public to observe that the powder in
most general use, the Royal, is also the
purest. In comparing the first two powders
on the list, for instance-the Royal and DR..
Prlce's-the inert matter in Prices is seen
to be about five in seven more than in the
former, difference of II 81 per cent, the
Royal being purer than Prices by cores
ponding figure.
The carbonic or leavening gas produced
by the powders indicates their strength and
their true value may be ascertained by con-
sidering the amount of this gas in conneo-
ton with their inert matter or reSduum as
shown above. The higher the percentage
of gas and the lower the percentage of resid-
uum the better the baking powder. These
percentages, as found in some of the most
familiar powders, are given rs follows:

CURIosITIEs OF CoURTsH1P.
Love-Making Episodes of an Odd o
Striking Character.

OIIlnlnB SIldI dCO0T.
The Elmira, N Y, Gazette has made a
collection of condensed love stories, as fol-
lows:
There is veritable incident on record of
an old Scotch dame, toothless, and nearly
bent double with the aches and pa ms of ad-
vanced years, who, when asked at what age
women gave over thinking of marriage, re-
piled:
Deed, we maun cen gang and ask some
ane mair auld than mel"
And we can give as a companion to this
instance one equally authentic of small
American damsel of years who, being
once chided by a grown-up sister for talk
ing of marriage-with the admonition that
such little girls should not think of get
ting married-replied with the utmost
amazement at her elders ignorance:
"Why, | thought about it when l was
only q"
Sir Arthur Helps gave it as his belief that
since the world was created no two couples
ever made love after the same fashion. And
since sit takes all sorts of folks to make
world, they may be fairly supposed to do
their counting in all sorts of ways For in
stance, the counting of the aboriginal of
Australia consisted simply in knocking the
woman of his prefere -ce down with club
and carrying her off. This form of wooing
was as efficacious as brief, and was certainly
commendable on the score of enonomy,
since it subjected neither party to the ex-
pense of lights, fires, oyster suppers, ice
cream. elaborate dresses. flowers, ETC., which
are the usual concomitants of civilized love
making. The method of the Australian has
been tried by other than dusky savages 1t
is an historical fact that William the Con-
queror conducted his courtship in similar
manner Having fallen in love with
Flemish maiden, he had told her of his pre-
ference, but received IN return oaly scorn
and Indifference. Becoming enraged at
this, he one day attacked the damsel in the
open street and pummeled her numerically.
The result was that she consented TO his
suit. and made when married, one of the
meekest wives Imaginable. In civilized
countries of our days this counting cere-
mony is, strange to say, sometimes used after
marriage.
Some very curious counting customs pre-
vail in Africa. In one tribe of Eastern
Africa it is regarded as the ne plus ultra of
gallantry for the lover to parade before the
hut of his inamorata astrlde OF, a huge boar.

BAKING POWDER TESTS.

Official Aualyse OF the Chief Brands
Sold in the South-Their Strength and
Value Ascertainod-A Large Num-
Der Impure.
The Ohio State Dairy and Food Commits
lie Circular No. 81 the results Of the Com
missions investigation If baking powder
This Commission was formed by the Legis-
lature, with instructions to make an exam
nation of the food supply of the State, and
to give report of such examination to the
public. The examination of the baking
powders was made by Prof. H. A. Weber,
State Chemist, and relating as it does to an
article of daily use in the food of almost
every one, is of particular interest,
The rather startling fact is brought out
by the report that of the thirty different
brands of baking yowder analysed, compos-
ing about all those sold in the State, twenty
of them are made from alum, substance
declared by the highest medical authorities
to be injurious to health when used in food
The Commissioner Classics the baking
powders into three general divisions, ac-
cording to their value:
ISL. cream OF Tartar Baking Powders;
I'd. Phosphate Baking Powders;
Sd. Alum Baking Powders.
The object of baking powders is, when
mixed in the flour and subjected to mois-
ture, to generate leavening gas in the
dough- which will arise the bread and cause
it to be porous and light. The Commissioner
explains that the best baking powder is that
which, the ingredients being healthful,
gives off the largest amount Of leavening
gas and leaves the smallest amount of
residum in the bread. A small amount of
carbonate of ammonia, which is considered
healthful, is used in some of the cream of
tartar powders to give them a higher
strength. The Commission say that pure
alum is undoubtedly a hurtful salt, and that
the resultant salts from its combination
with soda as formed in the bread can
scarcely be less hurtfu The report ranks
the powders and shows the amount in each
of inert resutants, which in using it would
appear as residuum in the bread, as follows:

as well as II per cent purer than Prices,
